I think there’s something in the water at my studio. It has been a stellar month for Impressions by Annuj as I now got my second MyWed Award win. This wasn’t even a part of their usual awards round, but was selected on its own in between rounds! What an honour it is to not only be chosen by the Editors but then released mid-round! Definitely one of my favourites from 2017.

It seems like it's a good week to be Impressions by Annuj - a Fearless Photo of the Day, my first MyWed Award, and now another SLR Lounge Award under my belt. It's great to be recognized by such acclaimed institutions in the industry!

This photo did so well on my Instagram - I think it's just about catching that moment that you might have missed or not remembered quite right. Guests loved seeing what they might not have been around for :)

I posted this on IG in B&W but then decided to go B&W for SLR Lounge. It's really hard to go B&W for South Asian weddings - there's so much beauty involved in all of the bold colour that is encompassed in their events that it's heartbreaking to let that go. I get asked all the time by other photographers how I go about deciding when to go B&W but it really depends on the photo. I think when there is a moment, or a lot of emotion coming out in an image, I want the focus to be directed to that and not distract a viewer with the colours so I might lean more towards the B&W. Otherwise, it breaks my heart to take the colour out!

Nowadays, everyone wins awards because there are so many new organizations trying to become the next big thing. There are very few that have been industry greats for years and really hold their name to a high standard, MyWed is one of them (along with WPPI, Fearless Photographers, SLR Lounge, to make a few). I have gotten quite a few Editor’s Choice picks from them but I just received my first award.

This was from a wedding I took nearly four years ago. I guess sometimes when you just know that you’ve got something good going, you gotta stick with it!

A big shoutout to Angell Liu for always being an amazing make up artist to work with!

Just a quick note to drop today to let you guys know that I won my first Fearless Photo of the Day award! Now these are different from regular Fearless awards as this full collection is curated by the Founder and Director of Fearless, Huy Nguyen. What an honour it is to have something selected by someone of his calibre!

This was a photo I took of Sinthubairavy and Shindujan at their engagement shoot in San Fransicsco. There are so many great photos from their shoot that I’ve yet to share. I smell a featured e-shoot coming soon!
